was the recipient of one of the most
beautiful bouquets last week that we
have seen for long time. 1t was

one Of the principal attractions in our

Miss jamie Broaddus returned home
from Birmingham last Saturday. In
company with some lady friends she
also visited New Orleans and took in
Mardi Gras, and got glimpse of the
many sights Of that old city unlike
any other in the world.
Our Methodist friends speak of DIR.
Wilson's sermon last Sunday as one
which exhibited deep thought and
culture. The large audience felt
amply paid for their attendance on
the services.
Death at any time and under all
circumstances is sad to contemplate,
but in that Of Mrs. Amanda G. Frech,
wife of Mr.. Henry Frech, which oc-
cured at the home in South Clarks-
vile last Monday morning, is doubly
so, from the fact that both husband
and wife had been quite i'll for a long
time, one not being able to minister
to the comfort of the other. Mr..
. Frech is yet confined to his bed, and
her removal makes his affiiction Sc
we're, indeed. Mrs. +. had many in
timatcpersonal friends in Greenwood,
who loved her for her sweet DISPOSE
: ton and other admirable traits of
character, and their sympathy, il
, common with that expressed
} throughout our city, will go out ten
) derby toward the sorrow-stricken hus-
! band and his daughter, an only child
, whose loss is irreparable. We trust
, that the removal of this Christian
, wife and mother from her happy
earthly home may ultimately cause
! blessings to descend upon the devoted
husband and sweet-spirited daughter,
! and that the gloom which now hangs
t so heavily over them may be dis
a PEELED by the consoling thought that
! the departed has gone to her home of
, sunshine and bliss.

We are glad to report that Miss
Sumner Campbell is improving, with
prospects for speedy recovery.

arranging hot-beds and making prep
S arations for gardening in earnest,
